Charities and liver specialists are warning that people with Hepatitis C are buying medications from India, to avoid long waits on the NHS. It's estimated that around 215,000 people in the UK have Hepatitis C. New, highly effective drugs that cure up to 90% of cases have been approved for use in the NHS. This year NHS England said it would treat 10,000 people. But charities and senior doctors say many more should be treated and recent reductions in the cost of the drugs to the NHS should allow more people to benefit. NHS England has told You & Yours that the numbers being treated will increase next year, rising to 15,000 in 2021.

The charity Barnardo's has told the 麻豆社 that nearly two thirds of children they've counselled who were groomed online, had gone on to meet their attacker and been sexually abused. In the last six months, the charity's five specialist centres across the UK have worked with nearly three hundred children who have been groomed online. New research reveals that half of those children were sexually exploited by more than one person. We hear the experience of a father whose 13 year old son was groomed online and then abused by several men. Details of organisations offering information and support with child sexual abuse are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call for free, at any time to hear recorded information on 0800 077 077.
